GIARDINI DI FALANTO

reactivation of Mar Piccolo territory | Taranto | 2016-18

#strategy #landscape #slowmobility #reuse #infrastructure

The territorial unit of Mar Piccolo is a naturalistic and archaeological area with a totally unexpressed potential value. This place is unique for its natural conformation (the two seas of Taranto), for the wetland and marine biodiversity that it welcomes despite the state of degradation and pollution, and for the historical and archaeological presence still visible today. The task is to define an innovative and integrated territorial development model that considers the redevelopment of a degraded area as a complex multidisciplinary process, self-sustaining and capable of generating new economies.

Giardini di Falanto is therefore a long-term and broad planning framework, which aims to host different project initiatives, carried out by different subjects, but all directly or indirectly linked to the identity of the areas of Mar Piccolo, to their history and to a few simple guidelines that identify the general rules within the particular processes are included. It is a participatory and shared process to implement sustainable and excellent activities within green and blue economy, social innovation, sustainable mobility, research and technology transfer.
